MAPPING MAN 
In Solaris, indexing the
 man pages:
 
 1. Set your MANPATH variable
 to include all your man pages
 to be indexed:
 
 Eg.  #> MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/dt/man:/opt/VRTSvxvm/man; export MANPATH
 
 
 2. Use catman command to index
 the man pages:
 
 #> catman -w
 
 Now you can use 'whatis' command
 to know what a command does and
 'man -k' commands to search for
 a keyword in man pages.
